Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will ensure that teachers are prioritised for covid-19 testing.

We are committed to supporting schools to stay open and as part of this, tests continue to be delivered to schools to allow teachers and pupils with symptoms to be prioritised for tests. The Government have developed a dedicated route to enable schools to order additional tests kits online via a replenishment portal which is available at the following link:
